A blast and gunfire were heard at the premises of the headquarters of Turkish Aerospace Industries. The Turkish interior minister called it a “terrorist attack,” adding that it caused deaths and injuries.

    The scare quotes around “terrorist attack” seem a bit unnecessary. This seems to be confirmed as an attack (and not an accident) and it caused terror.

    I’d be skeptical of regurgitating whoever Erdogan blames for the attack - but an attack it was.

      Legitimate military target. It’s a military contractor and weapons manufacturer, whose systems are used to kill members of the group who likely attacked it.
